Wonderful, getting some paint on military attire (9)
I believe the answer is:
greatcoat
'military attire' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'wonderful getting some paint' is the wordplay.
'wonderful' becomes 'great' (I've seen this in another clue).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'some paint' becomes 'coat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'great'+'coat'='GREATCOAT'
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greatcoat that I've seen before include "what a soldier might wear" , "What a soldier may have on" , "Long overgarment" , "costume?" , "piece of clothing" .)
